Capn' Jackster's Liveaboard Notes

Marina Photo

This WEB site will attempt to demonstrate the pros and cons of living aboard a vessel, be it sail or power. I personally have lived in just about every kind of dwelling imaginable. All were somewhat nice, fully functional (as far as dwellings go) and accommodating. However, none gave me the independence, fun and sense of well-being as living aboard. I will try to convey how it feels to live aboard and pass on some pointers on how anyone with determination, the right frame of mind, and a little knowledge can join in this exciting lifestyle.

Where do we go from here?

I'll try to guide you through this adventure by answering some of the questions that I'm asked most often. As there is no such thing as a "dumb" question, I will assume little or no boating or liveaboard experience on the part of the reader. That being said, some of you "old salts" might pick up a few tips or ideas along with a chuckle or two as well...
